The function dmy() is not behaving the way I would expect on a messy dataset I have where 2 days were entered by mistake as 8&9 june 06. dmy() returns "2006-09-08" whereas as_date() is returning NA (like I would have expected).
library(lubridate)
dmy("8&9 june 06")
# [1] "2006-09-08" <-- wrong!!
as_date("8&9 june 06")
# [1] NA <-- What I would expect
